Unlike traditional approaches like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), which emphasize complete abstinence, moderation management offers an alternative path focused on reducing alcohol consumption and fostering a healthier relationship with alcohol. This program recognizes that one size does not fit all when it comes to overcoming alcohol dependency. While many programs advocate for the total elimination of alcohol, moderation management caters to those who may not align with that approach. It acknowledges the diverse challenges individuals face, from feelings of embarrassment about their habits to the struggle of regaining control and balance in life. Moderation management provides a supportive framework for those who want to address their alcohol use in a way that feels both achievable and empowering.

After the fast, resume drinking but set your own limits.
It is important to not go in with very high expectations. This is an outpatient procedure; you will attend sessions while going about your life. You can meet your group multiple times a week and share your experiences. The most important thing to learn during the procedure is self-control. Substance abuse therapy has one goal, and that is to bring awareness to the patient about his state. Once you are aware of your habits, only then will you try to control them. Some of the things that you can practice are:
